Delivering Open, Standards-based Access Control and Federation Services across Intranets and Extranets. Sun Java System Access Manager is a security foundation that helps organisations manage secure access to an enterprises' Web applications both within the enterprise and across business-to-business (B2B) value chains. It provides open, standards-based authentication and policy-based authorisation with a single, unified framework. It secures the delivery of essential identity and application information to meet today's needs and to scale with growing business needs, by offering single sign-on (SSO) as well as enabling federation across trusted networks of partners, suppliers, and customers.
Sun Java System Federation Manager
Federation Manager is the first solution to extend federation to a large number of partners at a low cost. It quickly establishes and extends trusted domains to include large numbers of service providers as part of a hub-and-spoke architecture. Federation Manager provides secure federated services by allowing spoke partners to more efficiently leverage the core security and identity infrastructures of the hub provider. Because it makes trusted domains easily extensible across vast networks of partners, Federation Manager can create application security mechanisms that are infinitely reusable and that enable authentication and access solutions to work together seamlessly across diverse partner environments.
